Polystyrene Collection 2.0

Paul from Thorndon

Hi Neighbours!

A while ago I put out a message that got a few people keen about getting their polystyrene waste collected and recycled. The previous post is archived so I have to create this new post.

The company that I was in talks with have now set up their new premises in Porirua, and are ready to take the collections now, they are just in the final stages of taking over the old Poly Palace site at Spicer Landfill.

I'm looking at going there on Monday morning, so if I can arrange some collections this weekend and make it worth the effort, that would be great.

I put out a link to a Google Spreadsheet for interested people to put their details in, and I'll get in touch with those people.

If you never saw this last time, then the link to the spreadsheet is:
docs.google.com...

There is a cost involved - $35 / cubic meter. I'm guessing that a bootload would be about a cubic meter so I'll go by that. So whoever wishes to get rid of their poly waste, I'll be requesting a donation, depending on how much you have.

Please fill out your details into the spreadsheet, or if you don't want to do that, give me your email address here or by private message.

If it works out then I could look at doing it more regularly.
